[0021] Figure 4 for Figure 2 sectional view of . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of the present application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a membrane press-in type plasma rapid separation TIP head. The membrane press-in type plasma rapid separation TIP head comprises a housing 1 and a filter membrane 2. A liquid inlet is formed at the lower end of the housing 1. The filter membrane 2 covers the liquid inlet to separate red blood cells and plasma.

[0024] When the TIP head is inserted into the whole blood micro-cup 5 to absorb the whole blood therein, the downward pressing action reversely presses the whole blood into the TIP head through the liquid inlet. When the whole blood passes through the filter membrane 2, the red blood cells are blocked and remain in the whole blood micro-cup 5, and the plasma can pass through the filter membrane 2 and enter the TIP head. The TIP head is used to separate the red blood cells and plasma while absorbing the whole blood, and there is no need to separate the red blood cells and plasma separately, which speeds up the blood processing efficiency and improves the blood detection speed.

[0025] In some embodiments, an exhaust port 101 is also formed on the upper portion of the housing 1 for exhausting air when separating whole blood, so as to facilitate the entry of plasma into the housing 1 .

When separating whole blood, the pressure will cause the filter membrane 2 to bulge upward, and the support portion 12 limits the bulge of the filter membrane 2 to avoid damage to the filter membrane due to excessive pressure.

[0027] In some embodiments, the housing 11 further includes an upper cavity 111 and a lower cavity 112, the lower end of the upper cavity 111 and the upper end of the lower cavity 112 are fixedly connected, the upper end of the support portion 12 is also fixedly connected to the upper cavity 111, and the liquid inlet is located at the lower bottom end of the lower cavity 112. Ultrasonic welding is preferably used between the upper cavity 111 and the lower cavity 112. The support portion 12 and the upper cavity 111 can be connected by interference fit, and the upper end of the support portion 12 is inserted into the upper cavity 111 to form a fixed structure. Other fixed connection methods can also be used, such as gluing or ultrasonic welding.

[0028] In order to adapt to the whole blood micro-cup 5 , the lower cavity 112 preferably adopts an inverted frustum structure with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, and the size can just be inserted into the whole blood micro-cup 5 .

[0029] In the corresponding embodiment, the side surface of the support portion 12 is correspondingly fitted with the inner wall of the lower cavity. The cross section of the support portion 12 is preferably in the shape of a cross, and the gaps between the crosses serve as channels for blood circulation.

[0030] In some embodiments, the filter membrane 2 has honeycomb filter holes with a pore size of 4.5-5.5 microns. This size can block red blood cells but allow plasma to pass through at a faster rate. In actual use, several filter membranes 2 can be stacked as needed to obtain a better filtering effect.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the filter membrane press-in type plasma rapid separation TIP head provided by the utility model has a filter membrane. When the TIP head is inserted into a whole blood micro cup to absorb the whole blood therein, the downward pressing action reversely presses the whole blood into the TIP head through the liquid inlet.
